Manchester,

Deaf
institute
Thursday
May
19th
Lovely
venue,
over
3
floors
downstairs
bar,
centre
upstairs
bar
and
eating
area
serving
vegan
food
and
upstairs
again
for
concert
space
and
bar.
Easy
to
find
venue
central
location.
Welcoming
bar
staff
who
explains
the
vegan
menu
and
helpful
when
connecting
to
their
WiFi
and
took
my
photo
when
I
asked
cos
I
wanted
to
show
a
friend
what
I
was
wearing.
Clean
and
bright
though
out,
decor
is
goth-retro.
Food
and
drink
served
quickly
and
reasonably
priced
and
all
tastes
good.
Here
to
see
When
Rivers
Meet,
with
Troy
Redfern
in
support,
first
time
for
both
venue
and
artists.
Arrived
early
5
pm
have
a
little
bite
to
eat,
could
hear
the
band
rehearsal
coming
from
the
upstairs
concert
hall,
Went
for
a
walk
in
sunshine
around
All
Saint's
park
across
the
road.
Everyone
has
arrived
early
for
the
gig.
Troy
Redfern
was
first
on
stage.
He
is
fantastic,
just
call
him
"the
guitar
man"
because
he
is,
the
way
he
plays
his
many
guitars
and
uses
his
pedals
like
another
instrument
was
mind
blowing,
I
could
have
listened
to
him
all
night.
Next,
the
band
themselves,
When
Rivers
Meet.
They
are
a
fantastic,
husband
and
wife
duo
Grace
and
Arran
Bond
but
now
they
have
the
one
and
only,
Roger
Inniss
on
Bass
and
James
Fox
on
Drums
and
piano.
Roger
and
James
both
showed
us
how
well
they
play
when
they
jammed
together
in
the
set,
then
watched
them
both
vibing
when
Grace
and
Arran
did
a
spellbinding
duet.
Such
an
excellent
night.
It
was
over
too
soon,
can
not
wait
to
see
them
again.
Must
comment
on
the
sound
system
for
the
venue,
it
is
really
good,
loud
but
clear
all
evening.
